Automotive Infotainment


OVERVIEW:  Automotive infotainment systems support drivers and passengers in a wide range of tasks including navigation, driver assist, internet connectivity, vehicle dynamics and entertainment.  As these systems continue to evolve, demand increases for more advanced multimedia, integrated navigation and energy efficient, reliable systems.  To meet these demands, National provides serializers, deserializers, power management, thermal management, and audio solutions that improve the driving experience, reduce system size, enhance reliability, mitigate EMI issues and incorporate power-saving technology.

Introducing FPD-Link II:  National’s FPD-Link II family of embedded clock LVDS serializers and deserializers enable the high-speed data transport of high resolution video and audio signals from source (graphics processor, camera or DVD player) to sink (display) in automotive infotainment applications.  FPD-Link II solutions provide infotainment systems with crisp images, rich colors, and stereo sound for a movie theatre entertainment experience in your vehicle.  

The FPD-Link II transmitter serializes the wide parallel data bus down to a single differential pair signal that may be transmitted over 10 meters of cable.

Devices in the family support 18 and 24-bit RGB Display applications. With the single serial signal, skew problems between multiple lines (lanes) are removed and cable lengths up to 10 meters are supported. This makes the FPD-Link II SerDes ideal for long reach applications with low cost small cables.
